I was DYING to cook by myself so I could experiment with everything I could get my hands on for so many years before I was allowed to. My mother taught me our recipes that had been handed down and how to accurately measure with my hands and eyes before she would allow me to cook on my own. Her rule was, "When you can reach the back of the stove, you can cook on your own." I've been going ever since. I have a natural talent that I embrace and I LOVE to teach! I am currently going to school to become a Dietitian. I have always loved how food effects the body and all the things you can do with it to help your everyday life. I have been a cook in a few restaurants but I don't like all the structure and rules you must follow so I stopped that. I just found out that my sister wants to go to a culinary school and I couldn't be more proud and excited for her. I guess that's it. Oh ya, I'm 25 years old. Married to a very lucky and proud man, we have no children yet. *FOOD IS LIFE!*
